Caliper is awesome but I don't know if it's the right choice for benchmarking 
larger pieces of logic (don't know what you want to apply it to). Where it 
really shines is at microbenchmarking (or in general for short execution 
times). The scaling factor ('reps') may be a problem when the number of 
repetitions cannot scale with the demands of the background probing heuristic. 
At least that's my impression (and I have been using Caliper for a longer while 
now).

For smaller snippets of code it's an awesome tool (especially for benchmarking 
cross-JVM performance of the same code).
